The commentary of Father Monserrate, S.J., on his journey to the court of Akbar These same Sacae founded Indo' Scythia, near the Paharopanisas, whose inhabitants are called Patanaei' and Delazacquii,'^ i.e. 'true of heart.' They speak a mixture of the Scythian language of Bactria and the Median of Parthia, called Pastoum. By the Persians they are called Aufgani. The Bactrians were brought into that region first by Eucratides. Subsequently the Parthians were brought in by Mitthridates, the great-grandson of Arsaces, after he had slain the son of Eucratides.
